Thursday, January 4, 1900. i We are gratified that our remarks some time ago in reference to a county poor house have borne fruit, | and that the county board of commissioners realize the necessity of such an institution for economy's ::x sake. The matter was discussed at the meeting last Tuesday, and we k-v feel sure that some Tdefinite actioD will be taken before long. The Bpjfr* present system of caring for the ? poor is too expensive, and a poor fcfe farm should be established immediately or the county will get in debt. %. Two weeks ago there appeared in %?'. onr local columns an item of news, ; which stated that Mr. W. Y. Sinoak, I a prosperous farmer living near Branchville?in Bamberg county. ?jri\ however?had gone to Utah to ji?:. ~ preach against Mormouism. We were somewhat surprised to find in last Friday's Augusta Herald the same articfc leaded up as editorirl, and in a prominent place in theeditorial column, without any credit. ... Of course it's all right?we are only too glad to furnish our coutempoiary with news?but we hardly thought 1 a daily newspaper would publish a news : item from a little countrv flplfrH weekly as editorial.

Road from Bamberg to Springtown Ford will be Opened?Poor House Now a Necessity?Many Claims are Passed Upon. The most important matter considered by 'the Board of County Gommisssoners last Tuesday at its regular quarterly meeting was the proposed new road from this place to Springtown Ford, and another question informally discussed was the advisability of building a Poor w O House, to accommodate the county's ever increasing horde of paupers? the number of our mendicant pop , illation multiplying almost as rapidly as does Uncle Sam's pensioners. Many claims were passed upon, and the vexed question of what proportion of the expense of repairing tin Fitz bridge should be borne by this county was definitely settled. All the members of the board, Mi 'SSi John A. Bvrd, J. A. Chas sereau, J. 1. Copeland, J. G. Rhoad, aud P. A. Starr were present; Supervisor J. B. Kearse presided with dignity and patience; Clerk J. Walter Free read over a countless number of claim items until he was hoarse, and County Attorney John R, Bellinger. beamed indulgently upon the members through his silver rimmed spectacles, and interjected words of legal advice from time to time to guide them in their deliberations. It was high noon when the members came to order, and the session lasted four loug hours. After the reading aud approval of the minutes of the previous meeting, the question of opening the proposed Bamberg and Springtown road, which had gone over front the last meeting, came up. Mr. L. N. Bellinger had been authorized by the board to make a preliminary survey of the proposed route of the new thoroughfare, and he appeared with a neatly drawn map which was displayed before the board while he described the topography of the country through which the road will pass. Its direction is uearly southwest from the court j house, aud it ends on the Joseph . Yarn place, at Springtown ford on the Little Salkehatchie river, a dis5 tauce of 6i miles, if it passes in front of Henry Ransom's house, but one-half mile further if his house is left on the west, and the road goes ' around his place. The airline dis" tance is 6| miles, but if, as at first ? suggested, it is opened by way of . Brown's crossing, the total distance > would be 81 miles. The route surveyed by Mr. Bellinger, which passes by the Orauge Grove (negro) Baptist Church, was finally selected, i and Commissioner Byrd, after con> sultatiou with members of citycoun oil, pledged the city to pay one-third ' of the cost of building the causeways through Lemon Swamp, if the same did uot exceed $300. If the i cost exceeds that amount council , will contribute $100, for it is a thoroughfare that lias long been ueeded and will greatly benefit the city. Mr. J. F. Jones, who appeared as s the representative of the citizens of . that section, said that while a perfectly straight road would be the best thoroughfare, the people out that way were in such dire need of > better communication with the shire [ town that they would be satisfied with auy old thing as long as it was a road. Finally, on motion of Commissioner Byrd, it was resolved to open the road, provided the citizens m; terested did the preliminary work and laid the corduroys in the low places. Supervisor Kearse and his ' chain gang will do the rest. 1 The J. F. Hutto claim for repair1 ing Holman's Bridge, amounting to $26.64, had been investigated by the Supervision found U. K., and was ordered paid, but G. W. IdighJ towers bill for $10 for a coffin for the unknown hobo who blew out his r brains on the platform of the old 1 Last Denmark depot some time ago, was, by advice of the County Attorney, left unpaid. In theFitz bridge > case a claim was made by O. F. Ott ' for$87.76 as Bamberg county's share 1 of the bill, which was one-half of the gross cost. Supervisor Kearse had investigated the matter aud he p declared that this county was only i responsible for 17 feet of the work done. He was authorized to pay r what, in his discretion, he considered a fair amount for that. The case of Adeline Chassereau, who had made application to be placed upon the pauper list was re fused, and the name of Sylvia Spellr man, now upon the list, was allow ed to remain there. Frank Smith,a r negro, had a claim for $2 damages to 1 his mule and team which fell through one of the county's bridges to which lie was hauling lumber. r* His bill for this latter service was - 50 cents. This was allowed, but ^ the claim for damages was refused. The 500 names of persons eligible for jury duty this year were selected by the commissioners. From e this list the jurors will be drawn for s the four courts that will be held I during the last year of the ninea fnnnth Aflntnro C LU^iUU VV/lilUi J e There was an informal discussion t running through the consideration - of the claims presented as to the s advisability of building a County * Poor House, to accommodate the r large number of paupers now on the l list, a list that is being added to at v such an alarming extent that Como missioner Bvrd voiced the unani; mous sentiment of the board when j he declared: "If we don't soon build a Poor House, we'll bankrupt the county, supporting paupers under the presJ ent system." A large number of claims were . presented, carefully considered, and ordered paid. The list will be pubf iisiied in full next week. > "I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure tor my health and lite.

Wedding at Blackville. Blackville, Dec. 30.?On Wednesday evening, Dec. 27th, Dr. and Mrs. j. H. E. Milhous entertained a large number of friends in a way that savored of old time South Car. 1 nil ojiuu nospiiaiicy. ?ne occasion was the marriage of Miss Julia Norris Milhousto Prof. Walter Stewart Peterson, formerly of Newberry An elaborate church wedding had been planned, but owing to illness of the groom it was necessary to make a change and have a ceremony quietly conducted at home. The parlor was tastelv decorated, and a yoke of pure white roses was suspended for the bride and groom to stand under. To the strains of Mendelssohn, artistically executed by Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey, the bridal party entered in the following order: Mr. J. D. Milhous, of Denmark with Prof. F. N. K. Bailey, of Edgefield; Oapt. H. F. Rice, of Bamberg, with- Mr. J. B. Gillam, of Lees; Miss Mollie Creech, of Kline, with Mr. M. J. Black, of Bamberg; Miss Alma Biath, of Greenwood, with Prof. Wilbur Zeig ler, of Blackville; Miss Aileen Hatikinson, of Williston, with Prof. Bsiskin, of Bishopville; Miss Julia Kirkland, of Barnwell, with Dr.. Murray Hair, of Uuion: Miss Marie Brown, of Barnwell, with Capt. R. B. Cain, of Edgefield; Miss Lizzie Mixson, of Augusta, with Mr. Wm. Capers Millions, brother of the bride; Miss Minnie Black, of Bamberg, with Mr. Jas. Randall Kelly, of Blackville; Miss Alice P?rry, of :^i. o a \r . .ti I naiesuurg, wmi lur. o. a. matiuewa, of Black vi lie; Miss Evie Delle Rice, of Blackville, with Mr. L. T.

Summers, best tnan. Attendants: Misses Evelyn Miihous, Leonard Kelly, Alma Free and Master Getseu Matthews. The bride and groom were preceded by Misses Vera and flattie Reua Miihous as flower girl and ring bearer', and their costumes of rose pink contrasted very prettily with the white organdies of the bridesmaids, who wore handsome butterfly hair ornaments finished with crescent and brilliants. These were gifts of the bride and to be retained by each wearer as a sou venir of the occasion. The gentlemen were attired in full dress evening suits, and retained at souveuirs their ties, gifts of the groom. The bride was tastefully attired in an elegant gown of white bengaline silk with chiffon and pearl trimmings. She carried in her hand a lovely bouquet of pure white narcisus and asparagus fern. An accompaiument of soft, sweet strains of music tfas rendered during the ceremony, which was conducted by the Rev. A. P. Turner, in a beautiful and impressive manner. V'SAfter congratulations, the guests repaired to the dining hall, where a royal feast was spread in "befo-dewah*' South Carolina style. The decorations here were southern climatis, ferns and white chrysanthemums, and were arranged in a truly artistic manner. Mrs. Peterson was a charming young lady and one of Blackville's ninaf f:ivnrpd hinorhfrrs. Prof. Peterson is a gifted young man who has gained for himself laurels in his profession, and is worthy of the fair bride he has won. The many handsome presents re ceived by the happy couple bear evidence of their popularity, and their friends are delighted to know that , their future residence still will be I among them.
